Scanned pdf file-how to edit/translate

Hi,
I am not very good at working with computers/but pretty good at messing them up...Anyhow, I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and I received a file that I need to translate into my own language (my own translation, no need of computer aid in translating), it is a scanned pdf file. How do I manage to put a cursor in a file like this? Do I need a "character recognition" something software or is it so easy that I can't figure it out?....Thanks for any help/advice you have regarding this,
Anne

    With Clear Scan you get the text replacing the graphics of text. That can be edited. If you do searchable PDF conversion, you can still edit (I think). However it is an edit of the hidden layer of text behind the graphic and does not show on screen normally.
    Usually the best choice is to ask the author for the original file to edit. If that is a copyright issue, then you should not be editing anyway.

    You can use PDF Buddy, the online PDF editor that makes it easy to add text, images, and annotations on top of scanned PDF files.

  • How to make a scanned PDF file searchable? I bought an Adobe service which I thought allowed me to do this

    How to make a scanned PDF file searchable? I bought an Adobe service which I thought allowed me to do this, but I do not see any instructions how to do it.

    Hi,
    When using Adobe ExportPDF online service, it will run OCR itself when converting any PDF to other file format.
    It also depends upon the quality of the scanned document, so it might be possible that it does not make the file searchable.

  • How can users who have Acrobat Reader only save scanned pdf files so that the text on them is searchable using ctrl-F?  I just use the recognize text with ocr feature in the full version of Acrobat and this seem to do the trick. Reader doesn't work!

    Our users have scanned pdf files they want to be able to search using ctrl-f.  I got them to be searchable by doing a recognize text using ocr with Acrobat Professional vesion 8.  They want to know if they can make the files searchable with Acrobat Reader only or if they need the full Acrobat Professional software to make the files searchable.
    Thanks for the help!!

    To clarify a bit they need to have Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader. Reader has not been associated with the Acrobat name for 3 or more versions. The process you are asking about is a creation process - the purpose of Acrobat - and NOT a reading feature.

  • Creating a PDF file as an editable web document

    How do I create a Word document into a PDF file that is editable on the web?  I created the original Word form and saved it as a PDF file and I can edit it from my computer but now we want to upload it to our website and need to have it editable from there.  I have seen forms online before and the editable areas seem to be colored in.  Can someone give me some guidance on this?

    Hi nancyl12891358,
    You might need Acrobat XI to make a fillable PDF form so that I can be edited online as well.
    Refer the below mentioned link for the same:
    Convert existing forms to fillable PDFs | Adobe Acrobat XI
    Then, you can upload this PDF on the web and edit it.
    Hope this information helps.

  • I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel.

    I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel. I do not get the columns and rows to align, just a single column of everything. Any suggestions?

    Export makes use of what is "in" a PDF.
    Good export is the "silk purse" and, ya know, you canna make a silk purse from a sow's ear (which is what any scanned image in PDF is with regards to export).
    The quality of export is dictated by the quality of the PDF. We are taking about the "inner essences" of the PDF (e.g., degree of compliance with the PDF Standard - ISO 32000-1).
    So, what goes in goes out or "GIGO".
    This has nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat's export process.
    A well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant to ISO 32000-1 & ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1) provides a PDF that proactively
    supports content export by Acrobat.
    To get the good stuff from export you start with a well-formed Tagged PDF.
    Goodstuff In — Goodstuff Out
    or
    Garbage In — Garbage Out
    "GIGO"
    Be well...

    Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat.   By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
    If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
    You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

    Hi @kitesquid,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g, does not save a scanned PDF file on Windows 8.1 64 bit. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    To verify the printer's hardware is functional, are you able to make copies from the scanner glass? Copying a Multipage Original.
    In the meantime, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know the results!
    Hope to hear from you soon!

  • Merging word document with pdf file how do you renumber pages?

    After merging a word document with pdf file, how do you renumber pages?  The pdf has more pages than the word document.  I first converted the word document to a pdf, using Acrobat Standard 9.

    Hi Petek ,
    After you merge the files or combine files ,click on the Page Thumbnails panel on the left hand side.
    In the Page Thumbnail panel ,right click and you will get a drop down list .Select the option "Number Pages".
    You will see a dialog box with several options .You can renumber the pages from there as per your requirement.

    I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
    Thanks
